   In 1890, two years after he was appointed Parish Priest, he undertook the work of further enlarging the Church at Newport. The end of the long aisle was pulled down, the Church extended about tweny feet and the belfy erected. Hitherto the bell had hung on a temporary structure in the church yard. At the same time he took the contract of improving the approach to the church and had Chapel Lane resurfaced and a flagged side-walk put down.
   The old school at Birdhill, the gable of whcih still stands, half a mile on the same road below the present one, was totally inadequate and with the hel of the parishioners he got erected, the present fine school, together with the teacher's residence. He would have wished to build nearer to the village of Birdhill, but Mr. Going of Cragg kindly gave the present site free, and he availed of the offer. He also, about the same time, got erected the present nice little school and residence at Toor, and thus the out districts of the Parish were now well equipped with churches and schools.
